Do you think Stripe is doing this just to be a dick?

It's because if it turns out to be money laundering, theft, or fraud, Stripe gets shafted financially (best case), and fairly likely FBI agents show up and start asking pointed questions.



Stripe is doing what it needs to optimize it's revenue/profits/value which does not mean it's the right or best thing for all it's legitimate customers. Stripe is free to do what it does and we are free to call them out for the pain it causes their customers.


you literally just described putting paranoid financial services on a pedestal

most of these things are:

- poor company policies masquerading as response to a law but are actually

- poor implementations of a

- poor legal interpretation


I think it's far more likely a mediocre implementation of a correct legal interpretation of a poor regulatory system.


thats why you need criminal banks like Wells Fargo and HSBC

great user experience because they dgaf and their relationship with the Federal Government wont be altered
